On February 29, 2024, soldiers from the Burkinabe Armed Forces killed up to 150 civilians in the villages of Bibgou and Soualimou, Komondjari Province, Burkina Faso.

Much of northern Burkina Faso has been the frontline of an insurgency waged by Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara since 2015, with these groups intensifying their attacks on civilians seen as sympathetic to the government since 2019.

In response, Burkinabe forces attacked the villages of Komsilga, Nondin, and Soro, killing at least 220 civilians.
